With the forecast for rain overnight that wont stop until sometime in the morning and temps in the single digits and cloudy and windy we have decided to postpone our NRGPT group ride until Sat May 26. its just not fun or safe to have 75 atheltes in a group ride in these conditions so we wait until we have better weather in May
On Saturday May 26th, we are going to have our annual NRG PT group ride from Lake Wilcox. This is just a chance for everyone to get to meet some of the other athletes on the team and to catch up with those you haven’t seen in a while, as well as possibly finding some riding partners for the summer.
The plan is to meet in the at the Lake Wilcox parking lot (Bayview and Bethesda side Map) at 8am . We will then have a little bike handling/ group riding coaching session as well as the opportunity to buy our new 2012 NRG PT training gear. The ride will roll out at approximately 8:30-45am. We have 3 different ride distances (50km, 85km, 120km) and we will start with 3 different speed groups as well, so you will start with those of a similar speed no matter what distance you plan on riding there is also a run off the bike. The NRG PT coaching staff will all be on hand to answer questions and be out riding with the various groups.

All NRG PT athletes and guests are welcome to attend, please rsvp to Nigel and everyone will need to download the waiver form and fill it out and sign it. If you can print off a copy of the directions of the loop you are planning on riding that would be great, the coaches will be out on the road with you but its just not possible for one of us to be at every corner for every loop
Looking forward to seeing you there!
